Our Take
The Companion 950 Straight Stairlift is a budget-friendly, reliable model. It fits straight staircases and carries users up to 120 kg (19 stone). Moreover, an especially slim rail keeps the steps clear and tidy.
Benefits
Ease of Installation
Fitting is quick and simple. Because it needs only minor changes to your stairs, most installs finish in one visit.
Compact Design
The slim rail barely intrudes on the staircase. As a result, others can still use the stairs with ease.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
The lift runs quietly and smoothly from step to step. Therefore, every journey feels calm and comfortable.
Safety Features
A seatbelt, sensors and a swivel seat come as standard. Together, they help you get on and off safely.
Customisable Options
Though fairly basic, it takes some extras. For example, you can add a perch seat to suit your needs.
Considerations
It covers the essentials but lacks advanced options of higher-end lifts.
The seat is also plainer than on top models, so longer rides may feel less cushioned. As a result, it can need more frequent servicing over time.
Its range of options stays smaller than on premium lifts too.
Other Models to Consider
The Companion 950 Straight is one of several straight-rail options worth considering side by side. The Bespoke Synergy Straight is a close match on size and capacity and the Acorn Superglide 120 Slimline Straight has a wider 325mm folded footprint, while the Acorn 130 T700 Straight has a wider 310mm folded footprint.
